Practice one topic at a time
After each chapter, practice that topic. You see the right answer and why straight away, with the handbook page to reread.
Learn the road signs
Signs are quick points once you know them by shape and color. Study the signs one at a time, then test yourself on 20.
Fix your weak spots
Your practice results are saved on your device. Practice my weak spots builds a round from the topics you miss most.
Take the full practice exam
The full exam works like the real one: 40 questions, 30 to pass, no answers until the end. Keep going until you pass comfortably several times in a row, then review every question you missed.
Before test day
Two tests in one exam
The knowledge exam has a road signs part and a road rules part, 20 questions each. You need 15 right in each part. (Georgia Drivers' Manual, p. 12)
Permit at 15
From age 15 you can get a Class C instructional permit by passing the vision test and the knowledge exam. It lasts two years. (Georgia Drivers' Manual, p. 8)
Driving with your permit
You may drive only with a licensed driver who is at least 21, fit to drive and sitting next to you. (Georgia Drivers' Manual, p. 8)
Class D at 16
After a year and a day with the permit, teens need driver education, ADAP and 40 hours of practice (6 at night) for a Class D provisional license. (Georgia Drivers' Manual, p. 27)
Hands-free law
You may not hold or support a phone while driving; texting, reading or watching video is banned. (Georgia Drivers' Manual, p. 25)
Points add up
Georgia suspends a license at 15 or more points in 24 months, and much sooner for drivers under 18 or 21. (Georgia Drivers' Manual, p. 48)
